Authenticate Those SHOES

Hi, I picked these up from a local thrift store for $6.00. Wondering if the might be the real deal. In my searches I see most buckles on Prada shoes are stamped "PRADA", mine are not. I have found a couple of pairs of similar shoes, but nothing to qualify them as "real". At the very least they are really nice shoes and they do fit me. Thank you for your help and stay well.20210226_115535.jpg

Authentic no question.
 
The shoes shown are authentic. Men's Manolo Blahnik's are not always easy to find.

Thank you so much!

Went for the brown laced up - been delivered today and they look and feel amazing. Though I think that they need to go to the cobbler before wearing as the sole is very nice and soft leather and I don't wish to damage it - sure there is a topic on how to take care of them here on the forum somewhere :)
 
Hello ladies,
Could you please help me authenticate these Chanel shoes? I contacted authenticate4u but they don’t do footwear any longer.
Thanks in advance.

Sandy-I thought it was important to correct misinformation. I obviously have no knowledge of your specific interaction with authenticate4u but I just sent in a secondary market personal purchase of my own and mentioned in my request that it had been posted on tPF that they were no longer doing footwear. They responded that they’re definitely still doing footwear-just not all footwear and they will decline to authenticate certain categories and some specific shoes.

Authentication by photo varies with every service. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a freebie opinion or a paid pro. As prices of luxury goods go through the roof, seemingly quality counterfeits can be made that are still profitable for the crooks. There are going to be cases where a photo just isn’t good enough. Some pros will then only authenticate by having the item physically sent to them for inspection or will just pass and refund the request.

i agree-great shoes but I’d definitely put a light Vibrum half sole (and heel if also just leather) on them. Not only will they protect the sole but they’ll give you much better traction. IMO leather soles are dangerous on a walking shoe. Depending on your personal taste you could also add a higher profile lug sole but that will change the look and add significant weight. Personally I’d just put on a thin one. Remember that you will have to pay attention on carpeting as they may grab.

Comments: I have only seen a couple pictures of this color floating around the internet and when I found my size I grabbed them. Now I’m afraid they may not be authentic since I have not seen anyone else with this specific color. Thanks again.

Sorry but I can’t do this type of footwear. Wait and see if Audreylita comments.

Sorry, some of these styles are being duplicated so heavily that they are difficult to authenticate by photos.
